Vote in the Peace Primary
Sep 14, 2007
Dear Friend,

Issues of war and peace top the list of voters' major concerns, but our leaders in Washington have yet to offer a hopeful vision and the smart solutions we need to make America and the planet safer.
That's why the Ploughshares Fund is inviting people everywhere to vote on a peace platform for the 2008 elections in the first-ever Peace Primary.
We are pleased to announce that Council for a Livable World's sister organization, the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, has been selected to participate in this online campaign that allows you to vote for the issues and organization that you think should be at the top of every candidate's campaign platform. Each vote costs only $1 and helps fund important work to promote a more peaceful world.
Click here to vote for the Center.
This isn't just a symbolic competition. The Peace Primary invites people everywhere to vote for 12 leading peace organizations, each with a different "peace agenda." The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation is using this opportunity to focus the candidates' attention on the spread of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction.
Here's the best part: The organization that receives the most votes will receive a $100,000 grant from the Ploughshares Fund to promote its agenda for peace over the next year.
Please help us spread the word about the dangers of nuclear weapons by voting in the peace primary.
For twenty-seven years, the Center has been the heart of the peace and arms control movement in Washington, DC. Their experts bring the latest research and policy proposals to Congress, the President and activists across the country. Among these experts are several Nobel Prize-winning scientists and two retired Generals.
The Center is already working hard on a peace and arms control agenda for the next President to take office in 2009 that will include the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, expanded nuclear non-proliferation programs and deep reductions toward the eventual elimination of all nuclear weapons.
The Ploughshares Fund has been a crucial supporter of this work and they present us with an enormous opportunity to advance it through the Peace Primary.
Sincerely,
John Isaacs Guy Stevens Executive Director Chief Operating Officer Council for a Livable World and Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation
